2019 Recruiting Thread

I’m far more concerned with our DB class than our DL class.

So we getting young?

Any word on Emerson? He's still committed.

Yeah. Glad someone else has eyes. We are going to be naked there in 2 years. Bad

Shotgun should change his name from Shotgun to Get Off My Lawn.

Moorhead right now is poised to sign one one of the higher ranked classes WITHOUT signing a full 25. Let that sink in. If things fall our way (like they possibly could) it will be one of the top ever. I’ve been negative in this recruiting cycle but goodness alive I feel like a sunshine pumper next to you.

In word only.

I feel pretty good in Collin Duncan replacing Emerson. We need Adonis Otey or another CB to replace DJ.

While that's fine, we had options a,b,c. Now we might be getting d, and e. And that's after a terrible Cb class last year and a one man class the year before basically. Thin is being kind. Now I'll say the previous two were on Mullen.
Next year we will have to go juco big time back there.

Otey lists some great offers. I'm guessing some of them aren't commitable? Or he's a grade risk? He lists a Bama, USC, Auburn, Florida, and FSU offer among many others.

USC is actually going after him as well. He will OV there as well

Clemson just signed (14) 3* players . I bet they'll beat Bama again.

Nobody not named Clemson or maybe Georgia is beating Bama. You're bitching just to butch now.

That would be Matt Millen level GMing right there IMO

''Low 4 star'' hahahaha we havent had a WR like this since Eric Moulds you are way off

They're risky, but I don't see just as talented replacements

You bring them in and get in NCAA trouble or they start a cancer in your locker room that you have to surgically remove. Lot easier to say it than do it. Those ratings on 247 has never won anyone a game. Relax. Or go and see the kids and evaluate them yourself

We're 10th in the sec now... that isn't any better among our peers than recently. Why aren't we signing a full class?

Also Name the last time we signed a big time CB prospect out of high school...
Redmond.. who else...??
Agree it’s for sure the position we really need to upgrade.. but it’s not like we had been killng it in years past with big time CB prospects
Shoop is the biggest get for the DBs we have gotten in years. He did wonders this year with our backend.
Get those Juco CBs is the immediate solution

If mingo isn't a top 10 nfl draft pick in 3 years, you've severely over sold him. After hearing the same descriptions last year (different posters) about whop, I'm gonna have to see it to believe it. Fingers crossed, I'll see it at Scott field

Thats pretty high expectations but thats fine. He will be the best WR we have had in a long time barring injury.

No doubt about it on Shoop. I think Piroli may have had something to do with that too. We looked as fast and physical as I believe we ever had on the 2-deep in the backend.

I'm just playing. You've saw him play and obviously like him. Good enough for me... I want em

And while we are lack of depth and recruiting at certain spots
I am just as worried about RB
Its an absolute travesty how Bad Mullen and Knox and Hevesy recruited RBs
I know we got Hill and Aries
But do a background check since say 2011 on the RB we signed and check them out
We have been EXTREMELY lucky the injury bug hasn’t hit this position throughout the years . And with Mullen’s offense and the stability of Knox we would have thought they would have recruited RB so much better. You have teams playing 2-3 backs every year with another redshirt sitting there waiting to get in the rotation.

We better hope Kylin doesn’t go down for long period of time... because talk about ZERO depth.

Yes Jarrian would make number 2.. and you 100% start this kid at Defense.. don’t even **** with him at WR

Im not the only one that thinks that but he can be good there too. To each his own

So have you ruled out Ealy signing and playing football with us?

Duncan was rated right below DJ James as one of the top unsigned AL HS players per AL.com. The kid can play and has a really good bloodline on top of that. At some point we have to start questioning T-Buck's recruiting ability..we lost Bishop and Mason last year and will now lose three of our DBs this year. You guys wanted to always point fingers at Hev, but I read nothing of T-Buck after the last year and a half.

We still have a shot for sure.. But look at the active roster...
And if he does chose to play football here .. that will be 3 RB CJM will have in this class. Last year and the year before that we had 1.

Never said he couldn’t be an effective WR.. but from all indications JJ wants to play CB so don’t **** with that.

I have begun to worry about this also. We were not going after a bunch of 4 stars, just decent 3 stars that we thought were better than their ranking. It seems we cannot even land those.

CB is a weird position. There is so much you don't learn at that position in high school because there are a crap ton of athletic guys that play the position but never learn technique. Two of the best corners ever in our history were a 3 star with no other D1 offers (Banks) and a 2 star out of high school in Georgia (Slay). Obviously if you are a Top 5 talent at the position out of high school you are probably flipping good. But there a lot of development that goes on at that position in college. Maybe the most development dependent position in football.

Additionally, most anyone that ends up with character issues is a bust. A lot of folks said we needed to stay away from Deon Mix. That one worked out really well for us in the end. And if you happen to notice, Auburn is all about those types of kids. That's not an accident and it's definitely had an impact on their team culture. I know that from a lot of Auburn folks on the inside b

Auburn has won a national title, been to another national title, been to the sec championship multiple times, and beaten bama more times than anyone else this decade. Where can I sign up to be the next Auburn?

I was about to say that RB worries me more than CB. We have Murphy and Jones who are both four star freshmen next year at that spot. And then Tyler Williams, Jaylon Reed, and Esias Furdge as freshmen or sophomores next year. And Selmon is a four star CB recruit verbally committed for 2020.


The RB depth issue is probably a big reason why we went after Kareem Walker this year to go along with Gibson. RB is a big priority for 2020 and 2021 looking ahead.
